In a ceremony marked by emotional speeches, abortion-rights group Free & Just on Thursday unveiled a mural celebrating the lives of four Texas women who died because they were unable to receive life-saving medical care under the state's near-total abortion ban.

The mural fills the side wall of Mercury Project, a two-story studio and gallery space in the Southtown Arts District, and includes tributes to Josseli Barnica (1993-2021), Nevaeh Crain (2004-2023), Porsha Ngumezi (1988-2023) and Tierra Walker (1987-2024).

The families of all four women say they received inadequate or delayed care because doctors feared being prosecuted for terminating pregnancies that put their lives at risk.
